Combining to latest contract discussions and this comment it would seem to me that it would be best for the company to fix some of the issues sooner than later (before 2016) for which folks are leaving to the legacy carriers. If we're merely replacing retirees, longterm medicals, and younger folks leaving for Legacy carriers then how could we ever hope to have enough crews to expand? I for one would love to see a new deal, but it seems were' breaking even now on the number of crew members. For all the hiring that's been done over the past 16 months we still have relatively the same number of pilots.
